His family, whom fully support this new appeal, have had to endure five years of heartache and they are desperately seeking justice for Carl's murder.
Over the years, a number of people have stood trial and have been convicted for their involvement in Carl's death but there has always been one outstanding individual whom we sought to trace whom we believe delivered the fatal stab wound.
